Updated nomination: February 2023

“Mrs. Linda Irick has been teaching elementary school for 43 years. She currently teaches my sixth grade son, Joel and taught my son Hugh last year. Mrs. Irick goes above and beyond to provide hands on activities and interesting learning experiences for her students. She shows genuine interest in her students and helps them succeed. Not only does she teach, but she also runs a Lego League and a Geography League after school. Her experience and knowledge base provide depth in many subject areas. She’s an amazing teacher!”

“Ms. Irick is AMAZING! She is an 6th grade ALPS teacher at Jordan Hills Elementary. My son has thrived this year, and she is one of the reasons why. Ms. Irick has done wonders with her students. As you know, ALPS students are really smart and their brains are always turned on, thinking of what they can discover or do next. She has worked with my son this year on his excitement, sometimes he gets a little excited and wants to share all the time. She has worked with him so he knows when to speak up and when not too without the other students knowing. Thank you Ms. Irick for an amazing year!”
